These are the road closures in Toronto this long weekend

If you plan to take a drive around Toronto this long weekend, some of their busy roads will endure closures that might affect your daily commute.

ActiveTO closures:

As part of ActiveTO, these road closures allow cyclists and pedestrians to practice social distance while exercising outdoors. For this long weekend, from Saturday, September 5 at 6 am, until Monday, September 7 at 11 pm, these roads will be closed:

Lake Shore Boulevard West (eastbound lanes only) from Windermere Avenue to Stadium Road. As a result, the eastbound Gardiner Expressway off-ramp to Lake Shore Boulevard West (exit #146) will also be closed
Lake Shore Boulevard East (eastbound lanes only) from Leslie Street to just south of Woodbine Avenue (Kew Beach Avenue)
Bayview Avenue from Front Street East to Rosedale Valley Road, and River Street from Gerrard Street East to Bayview Avenue

“Residents planning to use those roads should access them by bike or as a pedestrian because nearby parking is limited and there is no onsite parking available,” said the City of Toronto.

Parts of major roads in Toronto will be closed for people to be active this #longweekend Sat 6am-Mon 11pm:
– Lake Shore Blvd W (Windermere Ave to Stadium Rd)
– Lake Shore Blvd E (Leslie St to Woodbine Ave)
– Bayview Ave (Front St E to Rosedale Valley Rd) https://t.co/Y4n2zeb5yY pic.twitter.com/VRJnOJAb0Z
